Sturgeon Bay to move on fence ordinance, Grant Avenue extension

In order to put parameters around the construction of new fences in the city, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council will be meeting Tuesday night and voting on an ordinance that would go into effect in 2022.  Acting on a recommendation from the Community Protection & Services Committee, the council will vote on the ordinance to impose setbacks of at least three feet from streets and at least 18 inches from public sidewalks.  The height of the fence cannot exceed eight feet and the fence post must be nine feet or less.  Concerns over the original recommendation that was sent back to the committee last month, were adjusted with fewer setbacks and consideration of the fence post height.  The new ordinance would require a permit from the City prior to the building of the fence.  Any fences currently up in the city would be grandfathered.

The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will also decide on a resolution for a relocation order and declaration of necessity for the acquisition of a proposed 66 feet right-of-way for the extension of South Grant Avenue.  Tuesday’s meeting will begin at 6 pm at City Hall in Council Chambers.
